Signal The Riflemen


I can‘t work,
There‘s too many wars overseas.
There‘s too much creative juice in me,
to focus it on math.

So I‘ll pace around,
I‘ll chat with your answering machine.
As my thoughts drift unto the unclean,
I have to take them back.

You know, I know, they don‘t know anything,
About you and me and all our kind.
Reasonless, meaningless superiority,
Slaughtered symphonies in our minds.

This college cattle call,
Ships of the hundred herds of young and wealthy work horse mules.
The teachers label all the dreamers fools,
"We‘re not their fucking tools!"

You and me can set them free together,
With one hand on each other‘s
And the other on our weaponry, yeah.
You and me can set them free together,
All I need is your love, all I need is your love.
All I need is your love, and a revolution.

And you,
They fit you inside of a box.
They tie it with their proficient knots,
To keep you in the dark.

They‘re scared of your eyes
Cause they radiate blue.
Never ever stop dreaming the way you do,
The future holds a "Fuck you!" for them all.

One day, someday, I‘ll make it out of this
High school hell hole, fly away.
Don‘t waste time being mad at everything,
Freedom‘s only a breath away.

Caps will fly up, signal the rifleman.
Drop your gown and jet right out.
The sky engulfed in our triumphant shouts,
Yeah shout, shout it out!

You and me can set them free together,
With one hand on each other‘s
And the other on our weaponry, yeah.
You and me can set them free together,
All I need is your love, all I need is your love.
All I need is your love...

Let‘s make love on top of broken blackboards.
I‘ll slide the colored chalk around your every curve.
Our bodies warm and doused in perspiration.
I‘ll dry your tears, with torn up college applications.
Torn up college applications.

You and me can set them free together,
With one hand on each other‘s
And the other on our weaponry, yeah.
You and me can set them free together,
All I need is your love, all I need is your love.
All I need is your love, all I need is your love.

All I need is your love, all I need is your love.
All I need is your love, and a revolution..
